Several Collections from Anthony Martin formerly Bishop of Meath BEfore Proclamations were issued out Sir Anthony St. Leger upon this Order called an Assembly of the Archbishops and Bishops together with other of the then Clergy of Ireland in which Assembly he signified unto them as well His Majesties Order aforesaid as also the Opinions of those Bishops and Clergy of England who had adhered unto the Order saying that it was his Majesties Will and Pleasure confenting unto their serious Considerations and Opinions then acted and agreed on in England as to Ecclesiastical matters that the same be in Ireland so likewise celebrated and performed Sir Anthony St. Leger having spoken to this effect George dowdall who succeeded George Cromer in the Primacy of Armagh stood up who through his Romish Zeal to the Pope laboured with all his power and force to oppose the Liturgyof the Church that it might not be read or sung in the Church saying then shall every illiterate fellow read Service or Mass as he in those days termed the word Service To this Saying of the Archbishops Sir Anthony replyed No your Grace is mistaken for we have too many illiterate Priests amongst us already who neither can pronounce the Latine nor know what it means no more than the Common people that hear them but when the people hear the Liturgy in English they and the Priest will then understand what they pray for Upon this Reply George dowdall bade Sir Anthony beware of the Clergles Curse Sir Anthony made answer I fear no strange Curse so long as I have the Blessing of that Church which I believe to be the true one The Archbishop again said can there be a truer Church than the Church of Saint Peter the Mother Church of Rome Sir Anthony returned this answer I thought we had bin all of the Church of Christ for he calls all true believers in him his Church and himself the Head thereof The Archbishop replied and is not St. Peter the Church of Christ Sir Anthony returned this Answer St. Peter was a Member of Christs Church but the Church was not St. Peters neither was St. Peter but Chrise the Head thereof Then George Dowdall the Primate of Armagh rose up and several of the Suftragan Bishops under his Jurisdiction saving only Edward Staples then Bishop of Meath who tarried with the rest of the Clergy then assembled on the Kalends of March according to the old stile 1551. but if we reason as from the Annunication of our Lady which was the 25 th of March it was 1550. Sir Anthony then took up the Order and held it forth to George Browns Archbishop of Dublin who standing up received it saying this Order good Brethren is from our Gracious King and from the rest of our Brethren the Fathers and Clergy of England who have consulted herein and compared the holy Scriptures with what they have done unto whom I submit as Jesus did to Caesar in all things just and lawful making no question why or wherefore as We own Him our true and lawfull King After this several of the meeker or most moderate of the Bishops and Clergy of Ireland cohered with George Browne the Archbishop of Dublin amongst whom Edward Staples Bishop of Meath who was put out from his Bishoprick for so doing in Queen Mary's days on the 29 th of June 1554. John Bale who on the second of February 1552. was Consecrated Bishop of Ossory for his fidelity and afterwards by Queen Mary expulsed Also Thomas Lancaster Bishop of Kildare who was at the same tim● put from his Bishoprick with several others of the Clergy being all expulsed upon Queen Maries coming to the Crown When these passages had passed Sir Anthony was in a short time after recalled for England and Sir James Crofts of Herefordshire Knight placed Chief in his stead who began his Government from the 29 th of April 1551. Sir James Crofts upon his coming over endeavoured much for the perswading of George Dowdall to adhere to the Order asoresaid but Dowdall being obstinate his Majesty and the Learned Privy Council then of England for his perversness upon the 20 th of October following took away the Title of Primate of all Ireland from him and conferred the same on George Browne then Archbishop of Dublin and to his Successors by reason that he was the first of the Irish Bishops who embraced the Order for Establishing of the English Liturgy and Reformation in Ireland which place he enjoyed during the remainder of King Edwards's Reign and for a certain time after as you shall know further in its due course and place Alterations following one after another even upon this Reformation of the Church of England and the Title of Primacy being disposed of as we have already mentioned unto George Brown aforesaid some Writers saying that George dowdall was banished others that he was not but went voluntary of his own will yet not to dispute the case another Archbishop was consecrated in lieu of him though then living by which it was then held lawful as also that constituting of Archbishops and Bishops was in the power of Kings and not in the power of Popes or of the Bishop of Rome which would be much to the Abasement of the Powers of the Crown of England ever to resign or to acknowledge to the contrary Hugh Goodacre Bachelour of Divinity was consecrated Archbishop of Armagh by the said George Browne together with John Bale Bishop of Ossory already mentioned in Christ Church in Dublin on the second of February Anno 1552. Thomas Bishop of Kildare and Tugenius Bishop of Down and Connon assisting him yet notwithstanding Hugh Goodacre's Consecration George Browne then held the Title of Primacy of all Ireland This Reformation and Alteration having not time to settle or to take root it was soon quashed and pulled down by that lamentable loss of that hopeful Prince King Edward the Sixth who died at Greenwich the 6 th of June 1553. Upon King Edward's Decease the Council having met to consult together upon the Affairs of these Dominions as also how they might confirm and establish what they had already ordered and enacted as well in Ecclsieastical matters as Temporal a Division soon sprung up some being for the Choice of the Lady Jane Gray others for Queen Mary at last upon conclusion Mary the Kings Sister was voted Queen upon the Proposals and Promises which she made to the Council to confirm all that had been perfected by her Father King Henry the 8 th and her Brother King Edward and his Honoured Council After she had been crowned and enthroned she for the space of three or four months seemed moderate to the Protestant Reformers yet all that while combining with Rome and her Emissaries but having accomplished her Designs she revoked her fair Promises which with Papists is a Rule esteeming it no sin to break Contracts or Covenants with Hereticks and Protestants numbred with such sort of People especially with
